But I thought...

This goes harder than it should
I've yet to see a reason to not just support magneto over the Professor X. Perhaps I'm just ignorant of comics, but Matneto seems to have a point that the threat to mutantkind is humanity, and mutants have a right to self defense.
Just went on a mini study tour and had no idea that the first nuclear plant was built in the USSR. Of course my nuclear engineering education failed to mention that, only discussing the atom bomb and the EBR-1.
The Soveits get mocked at any mention and it grates me endlessly because I've not had the time to dive into how my field was used in the USSR. If anyone had resources for me to start I'd appreciate it. Research articles are welcome, I'd like to see if there's any unique designs I've yet to see.
I hope that the AES can be a bastion of anti-imperialism and prosperity on the African continent, and that it eventually grows into a United African Federation.
Sankara was extremely accomplished for the relatively short time he had in power, his biggest mistake was underestimating the imperialists, which it seems Traoré has learned from.
I personally believe that the Sahel states will become a much larger player within the anti-imperialist movement then anyone expects. Within a decade I believe people in the west will be blindsided by their rise, similar to China the last two decades.
Studying nuclear science, and this is genuinely my biggest fear the world. I can say at least my crop of peers (even if I'm not always fond if their opinions) are pretty staunchly on the "Nuclear war is the worst thing that could ever occur and we must do everything in our power to halt it from occurring."
My mother is optimistic about my generation, perhaps being born in the core has given me a pessimism she doesn't share, but I see the reality where our world is wiped out in a nuclear hellfire to be scarily more possible every day.
All it takes is the truama from collapsing empire to delude US citizens enough into taking the literal nuclear option. I guess it's a race of whatever snaps first, an unmanageable portion of the American psyches or the faith in capitalism.
Translation: Fuck over the desperate by removing any remaining welfare policies and exterminate Shiites because those dirty mushrik are a more dangerous and nefarious threat then Zionists.
Shia, Twelver, that's why I'm particularly worried. They've said so far that nothing has happened so far and that they are safe, but they're in Damascus which I'd assume the new government doesn't want to create instability in. Still I can unfortunately see things going south years down the line if HTS manages to completely dismantle the remaining Baathist resistance or Kurdish controlled territory.
May I ask why it does? Isn't Nigeria very influential in ECOWAS, which is currently in opposition with the AES? I'd assume Nigeria would go out of its way to sabatoge any of the AES being included within BRICS, so may I request information that clears up my misunderstanding if it is one?
Same. It has depressed me more than anything else so far. My family says they are fine still, but I'm constantly worrying for their safety.
I'm interested to see how the Niger and Mali feel in regards to this decision and if they're planning to something similar at some point.
